MAX6162BESA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX6162BESA is a Series Voltage Reference IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed to provide a fixed 2.048V output with ±0.24% tolerance. This component operates as a precision voltage reference for analog and mixed-signal applications requiring stable reference voltages across industrial temperature ranges.

The MAX6162BESA is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent substitute components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Active alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical specifications are available to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX6162BESA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Fixed Output Voltage: 2.048V (exact match required)
• Output Tolerance: ±0.24% (precision specification)
• Output Current Capability: 5 mA (load handling capacity)
• Temperature Coefficient: 10 ppm/°C (thermal stability)
• Input Voltage Range: 2.5V ~ 12.6V (supply compatibility)
• Package Type: 8-SOIC form factor (mechanical and thermal compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (environmental specification)

The MAX6162BESA+ is identified as a direct substitute based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not functional performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX6162BESA+ is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using the MAX6162BESA. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements rather than electrical performance.

For New Designs and Production: The MAX6162BESA+ is the appropriate selection. This part maintains Active product status with Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The MAX6162BESA remains functionally equivalent for existing applications where RoHS non-compliance does not present a constraint. However, transition to MAX6162BESA+ is recommended to eliminate future supply chain risk associated with Obsolete product status.

Both parts are certified REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 export classification. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for both variants, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX6162BESA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX6162BESA in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters, output specifications, and package dimensions are identical. The MAX6162BESA+ is a direct pin-for-pin and functional substitute. The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the significance of the "+" suffix in MAX6162BESA+?

A: The "+" suffix indicates the part is supplied in Tube packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The electrical specifications and performance characteristics remain identical to the base MAX6162BESA designation.

Q: Are there any thermal or mechanical differences between MAX6162BESA and MAX6162BESA+?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package with identical thermal and mechanical properties. Operating temperature range, mounting type, and form factor are equivalent.

Q: Why is MAX6162BESA classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The MAX6162BESA+ provides continuity for this product line with equivalent performance and active manufacturer support.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: MAX6162BESA inventory is listed at 988 Pcs New Original In Stock (Obsolete status). MAX6162BESA+ inventory is listed at 1042 Pcs New Original In Stock (Active status). For new procurement, MAX6162BESA+ availability and active product status make it the preferred selection.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: MAX6162BESA is RoHS non-compliant. MAX6162BESA+ is ROHS3 compliant. Both are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 export classification. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, MAX6162BESA+ is the required selection.
